There are parts of a couple plants where the inner nugs (about 2 weeks in) are dying. All the hairs die and it has a brown look to it and the leaves curl up on the edges. Nothing is getting crispy at all like if it was burning and it's happening to my friend but way worse to him. I'm scared it's going to spread and kill good buds. On my buddies plants only the top buds still have white hairs. Only thing I can think of is the well water. Northern California is in a bad drought and the Wells could be low and sucking up crap at the bottom.

I'm going to do some research on these fuckers. If anyone else has information on how to kill these please help. Everything I read so far people are calling them the plague and super species of mites FUCK

I read somewhere that you can't just spray one thing on them because they become immune or it won't kill all stages of them like adults and eggs..

Forbid 4f is effective at prevention or elimination of early stage infections in veg.

In flower I know of nothing that's effective on hemp russet mites.

Have you confirmed this pest with a microscope?

No I haven't but the pictures I've researched of the damage to the plant is identical. My plants are all 2-4 weeks into flower.....so will spraying or removing infected branches help?

I'm gonna strip off all the infected branches today. & I'm spraying everything else daily with Azatrol because that's what I have always used. I'll continue to spray daily until I don't see any newly effected branches.....good luck...

I dont think its mites. Sounds exactly like the problem i had lastyear. Its MG deficiency. Foliar feed with epsom salt and add them to your feed as well.

We had a huge problem with these little bastards. We are surrounded by grape vineyards and other fruit orchards and kept getting them every crop. One of my friends suggested I try a product called Big Time Exterminator, it's locally produced here in NorCal, and Organic. Have had great results and the stuff is completely safe and non-toxic to people, plants and pets. Check out this website for more info: bigtimezyme.com/html/bigtimeexterminator.html

Forbid will work but it should not be used in flower I have heard it has a 50 day residual and should not be smoked but works great up to flower.Joe dank checked out that web site that also looks like good stuff that is two organic sprays In this thread that sound good.

Thank you cross fade and Joedank helpful info. I sprayed the pure ag pest control last night. I used 5 gallons for 12 plants hopefully that was enough for the first soak. I used about 1 ounce and 1/4th or a little more per gallon so I only have enough to make 1 or 2 more gallons then I guess start hitting them with neem till I can buy something else?
